Section IV: Roles and Responsibilities

Introduction

The Department of Health contracts with several entities who play a vital role in the success of the NHTD waiver. These entities include the Quality Management Specialist (QMS), and the Regional Resource Development Center (RRDC) which employs the Regional Resource Development Specialist (RRDS) and the Nurse Evaluator. As discussed earlier in this Program Manual, these entities are located throughout New York State and work collaboratively to ensure the high quality service provision to all participants of the NHTD waiver. This section of the Program Manual is devoted to clarifying the roles and responsibilities of each entity.
